Holger Czukay

I really don't know how to feel about this album. It's one of those where you either love it or cannot stand it, and I hate to say it but I am not the biggest fan of it. This album just really isn't for me with it being a bit too experiemental and just straight up weird to the point where I don't really understand the point of the music. There isn't a lot to tie the albums together in terms of both style and theme, which does make it quite boring to listen to. It's not an interesting weird album and I just found it boring at times. That being said, it wasn't fully unlistenable, but it was a hard listen for me. Although I would not consider it to be a good album, I do appreciate what he was trying to do with it. It's a very ambient album, however there is so much going on all the time and it is so distracting. I will never be able to appreciate chaotic ambient music no matter how hard I try, just because I feel like it defeats the entire purpose of exploring that style of music. It for sure does an amazing job at creating a kinda fun atmosphere, but it's an atmosphere that I do not wish to be in. I can sit here and talk about how much I dislike this album all day, but we need some justice for those basslines. I never ever notice their presence in music (and I swear I'm trying to be more aware of its presence in music) but they stood out so much here and I loved it so much. Especially in Hollywood Symphony aka the best track on here, where they were so prominent and even though it was distracting for me, at least it distracted me from all the not so great stuff going on in the background. However, I have seen a lot of people suggest that it is an album that grows on you, but as of right now I am not a fan of this one and most likely will not look at it again in the future (but who knows, I most likely will look at it again)
